City Swans |
Baby, come out |
I’ll meet you in the street |
At the place by the old fire station |
We’ll get something to eat, |
Like we talked about. |
Baby, come down |
It’s been a while now |
I’ve got so many things I could tell you, |
If my stubborn mouth doesn’t let me down. |
And I can’t look at you straight-on |
You’re made from something different than I know |
I try to slip the marching clock |
But centipedes invade my thoughts |
Without free will I heel and I go |
I step onto that metal plate, |
Where it meets the dazzling sound of trains, |
And I beg those trains to run. |
Cause I can’t look at you straight-on |
You’re made from something different than I know |
My eyes are on the sidewalk, |
It’s gum holding your feet |
I swear under my breath |
Because I’m starving in your gravity |
You’re made from something different than I know |
You linger just a little long, |
I see your gun is drawn with the safety on |
You can walk me back to my hotel |
Like it was home. |
And I smell those fools you made cordwood of |
In petty dreams that leave me sleeping here, in your arms. |
City swans, |
Our crook’d necks long |
City swans |
And I can’t look at you straight-on |
You’re made from something different than I know |
And it breaks my heart just like the day, |
That I looked down and I realized |
I’d been sailing so long I’d become the shore |
City swans, |
Our crook’d necks long |
City swans |
